best of what they did, for He rewards every good made for His
cause, as the following verses proclaim:
Will the reward for doing good be anything other than
good? (Surat ar-Rahman, 55:60)
What will those who invent lies against Allah think on the
Day of Rising? Allah shows favor to mankind, but most of
them are not thankful. (Surah Yunus, 10:60)
Nor will they give away any amount, whether large or
small; nor will they cross any valley, without it being writ-
ten down for them, so that Allah can recompense them for
the best of what they did. (Surat at-Tawba, 9:121)
The metaphor of those who spend their wealth in the Way
of Allah is that of a grain that produces seven ears; in every
ear are a hundred grains. Allah gives such multiplied in-
crease to whoever He wills. Allah is All-Encompassing,
All-Knowing. (Surat al-Baqara, 2:261)
Satan promises you poverty and commands you to avarice.
Allah promises you forgiveness from Him and abundance.
Allah is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing. (Surat al-Baqara,
2:268)
